Find Machine Bios Serial Number

Hi,
Need to find out the machine bios serial number in SCCM Hardware inventory.
Check in the SQL database SQL database views V_GS_PC_Bios, the value for serial number showing NULL.
Do we have to enable or create the custom class to get the bios serial number?
Regards,
Milind Dhuri.

You may find that some make/models of hardware may store the serial number in slightly varying classes in WMI.
In some, it might be in Win32_BIOS. In others, Win32_ComputerSystem, or Win32_ComputerSystemProduct, Win32_BaseBoard, etc.
Yes, it *might* be necessary to enable some additional classes in HINV, but I usually find that the data is already being inventoried, just that I am looking in the wrong place :)
Sometimes, there is no serial number stored in SMBIOS at all. (typically with smaller suppliers)
A quick and easy way to check if you have make/model variation as the cause of this dilemma, is to use Resource explorer in the ConfigMgr console.

  • Finding Distinct machine type & Serial number

    Hi,
    I have to create a report in CRM which comprises of fields like MACHINE TYPE , SERIAL NUMBER , CLAIM ID.A particular Machine Type & Serial Number has multiple Claim ID.I have to find out the count of unique machine Type & Serial number.Can u suggest some logic ?
    Thanks,
    Saswati.

    One way is if you do a shut down from within Win8, you can then press the "Novo" button just to the left of the main power button. A small blue text menu window will pop up after the Lenovo logo and, with the arrow keys, you can highlight the line to enter your BIOS from that menu.
    Once you've made note of your S/N, you can press F10 to exit the BIOS and boot up Windows. Be careful about inadvertently making any changes while in the BIOS.
    Hope this helps.

    I also have the same issue and have now received four emails.  I've replied to each one with the information I had.  I also couldn't find the "Mach Type", so I took a picture of the sticker on the bottom and embedded that in the Excel file.  I've now provided that twice and am still getting emails.  I don't know how to make it more clear.
    I did receive a separate email describing the warranty criteria but it doesn't reference the length (additional two years).
    If anyone from Lenovo is paying attention, I hope they'll take note.  It's absurd that the user should be required to provide this information in the first place, especially to the manufacturer.  As mentioned earlier, it just makes it worse that the file sent is an Excel file.

  • 'bios serial number' setting no longer working with 11.2.4.1

    We recently installed 11.2.4 and monthly update 1 (in 1 evening) and now we've started to notice that our workstations are not getting the proper device name.
    We have preboot set to give the workstation the bios serial number as device name (certain A brand ships computers with empty asset tags but has the serial set to the asset tag).
    This used to work with 11.2.3 so I am guessing something has changed. There currently does not seem to be a newer imaging set than the one with MU1.
    They are getting a windows-XXXXXXX where X is a seemingly random char hostname.
    Anyone know what might be up with this or has seen it ?

    Hi Joshua
    I tried a stripped down version with a 3 frame swf simply dropped onto the timeline - the problem does not occur. That means I would have to upload the full movie as it draws multiple slides from an external library and drops them onto the timeline at runtime. This package was developed to replace normal training material and is used widely to train some 120 000 candidates per annum by several companies. As such I cannot therefore post the full movie as I have to protect the code that drives the whole thing.I will have to stick with McGyver fix for the meantime.
    As each slide is pulled from a library, and the slide backgrounds from a separate swf library, I think that something new in 11.5 either has a problem with running multiple things at the same time, or has a problem in running a sequence of instructions.

  • How to find out the serial number of a connected AP

    Hi.
    We are using Cisco Prime Infrastructure Manager 2.0
    My question is: Is there a possibility to find out the serial number of a connected AP?
    Regards
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    I don't think ,there is any report which can help to get the serial no of AP.
    Inventory( Report >Report Launch Pad> Inventory)  is the ONLY report which gave the below information but NOT the serial no .
    Inventory
    This report allows you to generate inventory-related information for  controllers, access points, and MSEs managed by Prime Infrastructure.  This information includes hardware type and distribution, software  distribution, CDP information, and other statistics.

If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

    there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
    you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers.  you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

    Information on Parallel or "Gray Market" Products
    Canon sells and supports Canon-brand consumer and professional products in the U.S. through Canon U.S.A., which distributes these products through its authorized dealers and distributors. Canon U.S.A. is the only authorized importer of these products in the U.S., and provides industry-leading customer service and support for them. Products distributed by Canon U.S.A. are "localized" to meet the needs of customers in the U.S. market and are engineered to comply with local safety regulations and governmental requirements. As such, these products come with different accessories, manuals, and warranties than the versions intended for sale in other global regions such as Asia.

    Hazards and Difficulties Associated with "Gray Market" Products
    Customers in the U.S. may find that Gray Market Products do not meet their expectations because they were not intended by Canon for sale in the U.S. In some cases, sellers of Gray Market Products may attempt to localize the products themselves by adding, changing or removing certain accessories from the products, which may result in the following:
    including in product packaging illegal or counterfeit accessories, such as batteries, chargers, and ink tanks, which can cause injury and seriously damage your Canon product;
    an incorrect power cord or adapter which was not provided, or quality checked, by Canon;
    incorrect software or illegal copies of software which may not function;
    poor photocopies of the original manual;
    a fake Canon U.S. warranty, a warranty provided by a third party, or no warranty at all; and
    a device with a serial number which cannot be registered with Canon in the U.S.
    Customers should also be aware that Gray Market Products may not be eligible for:
    coverage under a U.S. warranty;
    U.S. promotions, including mail-in and instant rebates; and
    technical support

    If it iwas registered to your account then you should be able to get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    If not then do you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes ? If you do then in iTunes go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if using a Mac) and on the Devices tab on that hover your mouse pointer over the iPad's backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

  • Where can I find my original serial number

    Where can I find my original serial number? All I have is my upgrade number. Bought the original Aperture product in an Apple Store along with my iMac. It was pre-loaded.

    BAck in the day of hard media even when a program was preloaded on a computer bought from Apple the DVD's would be included and given to the customer. This was the only way to reload a program if the system failed. The serail number would have been included in the box.
    If you are certain you do not have the original DVD's then the only thing you can do is to contact Apple to get a replacement serial number.  See Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

  • How to find specs by serial number

    Hello,
    A few weeks ago Apple Specs web pages where changed. 9 out of 10 of my attemp to find specs by serial number lead to nothing or wrong model specs.
    What is the proper method to find accurates specs by serial number.
    Example?
    I have in front of me an iBook G4, 1 Ghz. serial UV***YPH0
    The specs web page lead me to a iBook G4 (Mid 2005) 1,33 & 1,42 Ghz. instead of iBook G4 (Mid 2005).
    I can't get anything for my MacBook W8***LZ62, just the list of 5 MacBooks released from 2006.
    I think that it is important when parts like memory or hard disk are needed.
    Any clue?
    <post edited by host>

    So, for now no garantee of good result from Chipmunk or Apple.
    John Hubert 1, you said that Apple is aware of that problem? Can I read something about that from Apple?
    Thanks anyway for the chipmunk site.
    a brody, I was not aware that Chipmunk doesn't always return accurate numbers.
    Thanks for the warning
    Model number is also a good hint... when we can find one.
    These portables did not have any.
    The problem of not being able to get them by serial or model number is when it is time to order memory, hard disk, etc. Stores now have policy that said "you order it, you pay it".
    Making wrong order on parts sometime quite costly is not my cup of tea.
    I will just have to triple check by model, serial, chipmunk, Kingston and so on to make the right guess
    Having a reliable Tech Specs site is certainly not out of range for the braves techs of Apple working as **** to be the best guy for the best products.
    Hey! That's sweet don't you think Give us the cake guys.
    Have a good day you all.
    ps: English is not my mother tongue, excuse any weird whatever
